Argentina’s state-run energy company Enarsa said a cargo of Russian liquefied natural gas was rejected over a payment issue, raising questions about the viability of similar shipments amid tightening scrutiny over their origin.
There was some confusion over the reason the cargo was refused. Enarsa President Agustin Gerez said Thursday that Banco de la Nacion Argentina wouldn’t accept payment for the fuel because of sanctions related to the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine.
